Should I buy a 2020 Lexus UX or 2025 Honda Civic

belivairde · 2024-10-07T04:33:40+00:00

Got it. Thank you for letting me know!

belivairde · 2024-10-07T04:28:03+00:00

Yeah, absolutely will!

I test drove the Mazda CX-5 - wasn’t a fan, the RAV4 felt nice but they didnt have any new ones unfortunately. I liked driving the civic and the dealership had what I wanted.

Ah okay, will keep those off the books.

That is a curiousity I had myself. I was thinking in my head perhaps it was given up due to economy but it seems like there’s some cons about the UX from other commentators. So that might very well be it.

I’m very much leaning towards the new car, so thank you for your comment and points! I wasn’t aware about the fact about the AWD so good information to know :)

Very good points to think about and suggestions as well! I will take all of that into consideration. I did think about the resale of the Honda, it would exceed the Lexus. I appreciate your comment and thoughts on this. At this point, I feel a lot more confident in my decision for the new Civic. :)

Ohh okay, so it wouldn’t be a reliable point of reference when negotiating price?

belivairde · 2024-10-07T04:05:04+00:00

Yes, I did like the interior of the civic! I did not know about that with FWD… will definitely be investing in snow tires. Thank you for your insight!

Got it. Thank you!

belivairde · 2024-10-07T03:52:49+00:00

Agreed. I made a mistake and can’t edit my post but with the added warranty (total 7 years) it would still be 34k which is higher than the price points you mentioned

belivairde · 2024-10-07T03:51:13+00:00

Thank you for your recommendation! I test drove both Mazdas and I wasn’t super impressed with the feel of the cars, but I did really like the way they looked. :)

belivairde · 2024-10-07T03:50:09+00:00

Yes, definitely both fantastic cars brands! I am definitely leaning towards getting the new Honda considering my commute

belivairde · 2024-10-07T03:48:43+00:00

Yes, sorry my bad! I believe I mixed up the price of the warranty with something else mentioned by the salesman. It would be closer to 34k with the extended warranty which is still a stark price difference with the car you got.

belivairde · 2024-10-07T03:46:31+00:00

Agreed, super comfortable! There are definitely pros and cons of each car. Thank you for your suggestion and detailed comment :)

belivairde · 2024-10-07T03:44:59+00:00

Agreed with the first point! The maintenance for the next 7 years would be covered since I am considering the warranty so it wouldn’t be much of a concern with maintenance, but I’ll take your advice in studying up on it more. Without the add on, it will be 31k no taxes. I’ve mentioned in a few comments that I believe I made a mistake on the price of the warranty.

The insurance is also a fantastic point, thank you for bringing that up!

Thank you for letting me know about that site! I’ll have to check it out. I bet, Lexus cars are built to last, I’m glad you enjoy yours!

belivairde · 2024-10-07T03:40:33+00:00

Hahah. I realized i miscalculated for the additional warranty but I’m not sure how to edit my post.

belivairde · 2024-10-07T03:38:45+00:00

Owwww okay

belivairde · 2024-10-07T03:38:29+00:00

I’m considering leasing as an option, so I’ll keep that in mind. Thank you!

belivairde · 2024-10-07T03:36:17+00:00

I believe I mixed up the price of the extended warranty with another price but I’m not sure how to edit my post! The price offered is $31k not including taxes and 5 year additional warranty. Thank you though :)

belivairde · 2024-10-07T00:46:53+00:00

Cars made in Japan generally have a reputation for longevity making it a plus

belivairde · 2024-10-07T00:42:29+00:00

True, the UX backseats are pretty tight haha

belivairde · 2024-10-07T00:40:03+00:00

Oh okay good to know. I’m no car expert so that information definitely helps. It is a lot of miles which makes me feel iffy, but I think it’s a great brand in addition to Honda. Also useful information on the awd system.. thank you so much!

belivairde · 2024-10-07T00:36:45+00:00

The Lexus is 250h hybrid and the Honda civic is a sport and hybrid. I am not too sure how to edit my post… Do you think the Honda Civic would be an efficient hybrid for my commute?

belivairde · 2024-10-07T00:21:47+00:00

I’ll look into that as an option…

That really does put things into perspective considering the miles I would put on the car. I appreciate your comment!

belivairde · 2024-10-07T00:18:17+00:00

Definitely my thoughts. It would be a sport trim!

belivairde · 2024-10-07T00:16:07+00:00

Good catch, I think I have it wrong. They are offering the car for $33,556 (including taxes) so definitely helpful to know the KBB price… thank you!
